Dragon Quest XI: details on battle system and characters

The Weekly Shonen Jump has news on Dragon Quest XI

While we’re still in the waiting line for Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time‘srelease date reveal on April 11th, the Japanese magazine Weekly Shonen Jump has news. Today, we first have an introduction on the battle system. There will be slight differences between the PS4 and the 3DS version, the more impactful one being the 2D/3D modes on Nintendo’s system. Nothing is said about the upcoming Switch version, but there’s little doubt that it’ll be like the on PS4. The magazine also unveils two characters that will follow our heroes’ journey. We don’t really know yet to what extend, if they’ll become part of our group or just important NPCs.
